Grandy Organics

Mainebiz goes to Hiram to find out how clusters and other healthy treats are made at the craft food manufacturer.

In time of the holiday shopping season, Maine Outdoor Brands has launched the MOB Web Shop featuring 25 member brands and nearly 200 products.

There was a smorgasbord of winners at the 2024 Golden Fork Awards, announced Friday during the Maine Food Producer Showcase in Portland.

The Maine Food Producer Showcase & Golden Fork Awards will be held at Brick South on Thompson's Point on Thursday, Oct. 24.

Taro Health, which provides health insurance for individuals, families and small businesses, has added Chris Keeler to tackle B2B sales.

Mostly focused around agriculture and farming, Maine's fairs also showcase arts and crafts and outdoor recreation activities from axe-throwing to tractor rides. The season wrapped up this month with the Fryeburg Fair.

More than 64,000 visitors attended the event in Unity last weekend. That total is the third-highest since the fair began in 1977.

Maine will be well-represented at the Natural Products Expo East Trade show in Philadelphia later this month.

Hiram-based Grandy Organics will use a $171,219 grant to install an energy-efficient HVAC system, stoves and a dishwasher in a project expected to save $16,465 annually.  

Tuesday's event focused on actions that companies can take to navigate the triple bottom line of people, profit and planet.
